Hi <<First Name>>,
 
As you will be aware, New Zealand's COVID-19 Alert Levels have changed. At 11.59pm yesterday, Sunday 14 February, Auckland moved to Alert Level 3 and the rest of New Zealand moved to Alert Level 2. These levels are expected to remain in place for 3 days (until 11.59pm Wednesday).

It is important that businesses operate safely at Alert Level 2 which means:
  • complying with general Alert Level 2 settings,
  • displaying NZ COVID Tracer app QR code posters and having alternative contact tracing systems,
  • maintaining hygiene measures, including physical distancing, handwashing and regularly cleaning surfaces, and
  • fulfilling all other health and safety obligations.

The Golden Rules of Business at Alert Level 2

Reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission at work.

All businesses can operate if they can do so safely. Alternative ways of working are encouraged where possible.

Talk with your staff to identify risks and ways to manage them.

Ask everyone — workers, contractors and customers — with cold or flu-like symptoms to stay away from your premises.

Keep workers 1 metre apart and customers in retail businesses 2 metres apart.

Keep groups of customers at least 1 metre apart, or 2 metres for retail businesses.

Businesses are legally required to display a QR code and provide an alternative contact tracing system. 

Face coverings are strongly encouraged if you are in close contact with others.

Reduce the number of shared surfaces, and regularly disinfect them.

Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.

Emergency Mobile Alert System
Emergency text messages advising of the Alert Level changes were sent out by Civil Defence at around 8.25pm yesterday. If you didn't receive their emergency alert make sure you visit the Civil Defence website to find out how to ensure your phone receives future notifications.
